Interns: boost your career prospects

We have six vacancies for interns at our office. Being an intern gives you a chance to learn valuable skills that could give you the edge in the workplace: one of our fundraising interns found a job as a political campaigner on the back of his time with us.

We need volunteers to work across a wide range of areas, including marketing, fundraising, publicity, administration and finance – so whatever your skills are, we have a placement that would suit you.

As a charity we embrace diversity, so whatever race or age you are it’s never too late to make a difference and learn some new skills.
